Amalfi Coast in March
Good time to visit
March marks the transition from winter quiet to spring awakening. The weather becomes more pleasant and businesses start reopening, but you'll still enjoy relatively empty towns and lower prices.
Weather
March signals winter's end with gradually warming temperatures reaching 15°C during the day and 7°C at night. Rain becomes less frequent - expect about 7 rainy days - but the weather remains changeable with mix of sun and showers.

All Months
April through June and September through October are the sweet spots. May is perfect — warm enough for swimming (water hits 18°C), but tourist numbers stay reasonable. The wisteria blooms in late April, covering terraces in purple cascades that smell like heaven. September brings harvest season; you'll see locals picking lemons and grapes on impossible terraced slopes. October can be magic — still warm days, cooler nights perfect for dinner on terraces, and that golden light photographers obsess over. July and August? Skip them unless you enjoy paying €8 for a Coke while standing in line for an hour to take a photo. Temperatures hit 35°C, beaches pack with bodies, and restaurant reservations become impossible. Winter (November-March) sees many hotels and restaurants close, but if you don't mind limited options, you'll have the coast almost to yourself. Just know that storms can be dramatic — waves crash over the coastal road, and ferry service stops completely.
